Coherent Synchrotron Radiation

Abstract

Since coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) from short bunches of electrons was first observed in 1989, several types of coherent radiation have been studied experimentally using linear accelerators. Recently, the CSR has been also observed at storage rings and an energy recovery linac. It is useful tool not only for the diagnosis of an electron beam but also for the light source in the terahertz region.
